Hello,

may I dare ask what LED light set had been used and what bulbs had been replaced?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best to ask @Jellybean , he fitted them before my purchase.

@gromand all rear bulbs were replaced with led's on my FSI, however a couple of things need to be considered..
1. For indicators the flasher relay needs to be modified, instructions on the forum.
2. If replacing the side & brake lights then ideally you need a basic drivers display unit, otherwise an info dis will flag up bulb failures.
3. Fitting resistors across the led lamps will negate the need for the above, BUT beware the heat created doesn't melt anything.

These are quite expensive, but I have tried umpteen variants and these are the brightest and best coloured I have found to date.

Regards....Rob

Yep that's taller.....Thought you still had the Jack under it

 

[Proghound]

You'll have to adjust the headlamp aim up come winter

I would be worried about strain on shock absorber at that, can’t imagine there is much more extension?

Hahaha I thought the same thing until I seen the message under the picture lol ?

Only about 40mm Paul.

Bonus you can now change the rear exhaust without jacking the car. Downside you will have to climb up to close the tail gate.

Not a lot but that’s a significant amount of rebound or whatever it’s called lost! I guess when you drive and use it you will know if it’s too much! I admire your wide spectrum of vision on your projects. Braver than me for sure!

What are you planning to do with the arches. Possible the wheel now sits in a different position in relation to the arch. Thought there was some regulation about the wheel can not protrude out further than the arch, and something about the tread also can't stick out. Need someone familiar with the full new UK MOT regs. Better safe than pulled by P.C. Plod.

The outside of the rim is in line with the wheel arch so it's all good.

Haha thats with 18" on, imagine what it would look like with 15 or 16's on.

 

[A2Steve]

I'll see how the back settles, but will probably end up fitting the matching springs to the front.

I liked the idea of fitting All terrain tyres to it, but I can't get any that are small enough to fit in the arch from front to back, even using 14 inch rims.

Yeah that would have looked cool. And complemented the higher stance.
